I think it's easier to understand the girls, because I was one ... I can tell what my 13-year-old is thinking, and I know what she's doing in her room before I open the door.
I'm impressed that you managed 3 in diapers by yourself! I have a hard time when I've just got the younger ones at home; fortunately that doesn't happen too often!

Thank GOD for that second set of eyes that emerge just after giving birth to the first child. Makes my oldest sooooo mad when I know what shes doing, and she was trying so hard to hid it hehehehe
3 kids in diapers at the time seemed so hard, but boy, it taught me a lesson, you can be mooned all day long, and still... you survive :)
When I was expecting my youngest, my girlfriend also became pregnant----with triplets! (I told her she was a show-off.) She had a one year old at the time the, as well as a five and a four year old. All girls! For several years she had four babies in diapers.
I would call, you really couldn't visit her, it was too much with all her babies and mine, too, and sometimes she would just bawl, "All I do is laundry!"
